    Paintings From the Lupins Colour Scheme

    Last week I shared a tiny weaving I made using embroidery thread, with a piece of cardboard as a loom. I used colours from a colour scheme I made from a photo of some lupins. The colours are so beautiful, I still feel like I haven’t exhausted them!…

    How To Make Appliqued Roses

    July 10, 2021June 24, 2025 Blog, Sewing Archives

    Inspiration can be found in all sorts of places, and the inspiration for these appliqued roses came from some paper doilies I bought from Poundland years ago! Usually the approach here would be to draw the same thing over and over again until it becomes easy. By doing…

    Easy DIY Felt Flower Wreath Since my Christmas wreath came down, my poor front door has been left without a wreath. I’ve got plans to cheer it up by painting it a pretty shade of green, but the weather’s been either too cold or too wet! Until spring…

    How To Make Felt Poinsettias A splash of red is always lovely at Christmas. Poinsettias offer that splash of red, but unfortunately for any plants that enter my house, the chances of them lasting more than a week are slim. Thankfully there is an alternative for those of us…

    How to Sew a Laptop Sleeve I like my stuff pretty. Not over the top pretty, everything pink and endless ruffles. But I do like pretty things, fabric boxes, cushions that I’ve made myself and I wear dresses for the school run. Laptops generally are not pretty. Neither…

Creative invitations for February, on the theme of Creative invitations for February, on the theme of thresholds:

Spot thresholds and make a written or mental list 

Make something woven to symbolise February as a gate between winter and spring

Notice things that feel undecided or in between, both objects and impressions. You might like to explore them in a collage

Begin something with no intention of finishing it

February is the doorway between winter and spring February is the doorway between winter and spring 💚🤍🌱❄️

The days stay light a little bit longer. Twigs are tipped with buds, and the green swords if daffodils are cutting through the cold ground. Even when it is cold, there is sometimes a hint of spring in the air, and the promise of green things waiting.

Colour schemes for February 💚🤍 February always se Colour schemes for February 💚🤍

February always seems like a green and white kind of month. Snowdrops, obviously, but also I'm surprised at how much green there is at the beginning of February. The lack of leaves make the greens of moss and lichen, and of evergreens, more noticeable. 

By the end of February, there'll be blossom, and maybe even a few leaves 💚🤍💚🌱💮

So I gave in and got a gelli plate. I didn't befor So I gave in and got a gelli plate. I didn't before because I thought it was probably not the best idea to get myself into another thing that was  potentially addicting! But due to the kerfuffle in finishing the next unit of my textiles degree, I missed the deadline to start in February, so I start the next unit in March. And I still wanted to try it.

These are the best results from my first attempts. The first one is my favourite, which I made with a piece of hessian. The second one was also hessian, and the last 2 were bubble wrap. But even the ones that didn't turn out that well had interesting bits, and the others could probably be used for backgrounds or collage.

I'm going to carry on experimenting. If you've tried printing with a gelli plate and you have some suggestions, please let me know!
